Volunteer and score race credits!
We will be offering credits to all volunteers who sign up for and complete an official shift listed on our volunteer sign up site listed below. These credits will be valid towards the entry fee for ANY of our Life Wide Open events. You can either use these credits for yourself or gift them to someone else. The credits for shifts starting Saturday midnight and on through Sunday will be substantially more than prior shifts (Wednesday through Saturday). So grab your favorite shift(s) now before they are gone! Credits will be redeemable for a single registration. More details will be posted shortly.
We love our volunteers!
Without volunteers, this event would be impossible. Click on the link below, submit and confirm your email address, and then you will be able to select whatever time(s)/place(s) work best for you. We&#;d love to have you help at multiple times, if you can. Typically there are a number of opportunities for children under the age of 12 to volunteer alongside a supervising parent/guardian too. Just note them, their age, and shirt size in the &#;Comments&#; when you sign up. (The volunteer sign up spots are for those 12 and up.) We&#;ll have some super cool thank-you gifts just for you! Invite your peeps too. The more the merrier! We need lots of help to support these &#;crazy&#; ultrarunners getting their run on. Pacers are needed Saturday night through Sunday. For all those volunteers who are not part of a paid group and fulfill one or more volunteer shifts on Sunday, we anticipate having a merchant gift card/ certificate for you. Be sure to sign up ONLY for yourself so we&#;ll get the right shirt size/count for each person. A big thanks!!
Here are the volunteer shirt sizing charts. Simply decide on your gender/size here and then make that selection when you sign up.

The Pistol Ultra Run
Join The Pistol Ultra Run
An urban ultra to start the new year off with a bang. This event near Knoxville, Tennessee, has quickly become very popular, always filling before the registration closes. With distances from about 10 to miles, there’s something for everyone.
Runners score some great swag and enjoy an optional tasty pre-race pasta dinner, and are pampered by some really nice volunteers, lots of heated aid station support, camaraderie with plenty of other crazy ultra runners, and some really cool finishers awards. This is a great race for first time and seasoned ultra runners alike. Walkers are welcome too. We’re here to have a good time!
This event helps to raise funds for two very worthy and needy local charities: The Alcoa Educational Foundation, and the Blount County Parks and Rec Scholarship Fund for youth enrichment. By registering, you are helping to make a positive difference for these worthy children and young adults.
The course is a fairly flat, paved, generally eight foot wide greenway that is lit at night time. For those who prefer a softer surface, there is grass along side some of the trail. It meanders along the Pistol Creek (hence the name for the event), through Alcoa, by several small bodies of water, and over to Maryville’s Bicentennial Greenbelt Park. It is a linear route with a lollipop at both ends and is a bit over 5 miles long.
Course Highlights
The 50K runners will run 3 complete, identical loops. They will have a short out-n-back spur on the "Associates Trail" on the right about miles into the course. Then they will continue on past the Woody Aid Station and clockwise all the way around the loop in front of the Maryville Greenbelt Amphitheater. Then continue back up past the Woody Aid Station to the Start/Finish line. Then continue up around the upper loop and back to the Start/Finish line. This is one complete mile loop.
The 50 miler runners will run 5 complete, identical mile loops. They will continue on the main Greenway Trail all the way down past the the Woody Aid Station and turn around where the 50 miler turnaround signage is near the Maryville Greenbelt Amphitheater. Then continue back up past the Woody Aid Station to the Start/Finish line. Then continue up around the upper loop and back to the Start/Finish line.
The K runners will run 6 complete, identical loops, the same loops as the 50K runners are doing.
The hundo runners complete 10 full, identical loops, the same loops as the 50 milers, and they're done!

He did it gracefully, he knows the value of the beauty of his body. Soon this game bored him. He howled a bottle of water and began rolling it from his chest to his penis, on which the bottle was again in his hands.
